come_v from_o thence_o set_a the_o inward_a man_n right_a and_o the_o outward_a man_n can_v be_v wrong_a that_o be_v the_o helm_n that_o govern_v the_o humane_a vessel_n and_o this_o nothing_o can_v do_v but_o a_o inward_a principle_n the_o light_n and_o grace_n that_o come_v by_o christ_n which_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o enlighten_v every_o one_o and_o have_v appear_v to_o all_o man_n it_o be_v preposterous_a to_o think_v that_o he_o who_o make_v the_o world_n shall_v show_v least_o care_n of_o the_o best_a part_n of_o it_o our_o soul_n no_o he_o that_o give_v we_o a_o outward_a

our_o deed_n to_o it_o it_o be_v by_o this_o we_o see_v our_o sin_n be_v make_v sensible_a of_o they_o sorry_a for_o they_o and_o final_o forsake_v they_o and_o he_o that_o think_v to_o go_v to_o

multitude_n of_o fault_n which_o i_o call_v god_n expedient_a against_o man_n infirmity_n the_o second_o remedy_n to_o our_o present_a distemper_n be_v this_o since_o all_o of_o all_o party_n
